Can you help me? A newspaper reporter from a Ryazan newspaper called me.
He said he'd like to do a story about my daughter and son who were born in
Ryazan. We went there to adopt them 3 years ago. It was 3:45 AM so I
wasn't thinking clearly. I didn't get his name or the newspaper's name. I
gave him my e-mail address. He was supposed to send me e-mail describing
where we could meet for an online chat. I haven't heard from him. I'd
like to contact the newspaper in Ryazan. How can I do it? Or how can I
use Friends & Partners to make contact? Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Exchanges and Training Programs for the New Independent States
Exchanges and Training Programs for the New Independent States:
Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
SPONSOR: United States Information Agency
SYNOPSIS: The United States Information Agency announces an open competition
for an assistance award to develop exchanges and training programs for
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
DEADLINES: 12-22-1999
OBJECTIVES: Exchange and training programs supported by institutional
grants should operate at two levels: they should enhance institutional
relationships; and they should offer practical information to individuals
to assist them with their professional and volunteer responsibilities.
Project activity may include: internships; study tours; short-term
training; consultations; and extended, intensive workshops taking place as
a two-way exchange in the U.S. and in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova,
Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
Proposals should reflect the applicants' understanding of the political,
economic and social environment in which the program activity will take
place. The sponsor is interested in proposals whose designs take into
account the need for ongoing sharing of information and training. Examples
include: support for training centers in target countries; plans to create
professional networks or professional association to share information;
establishing ongoing internet communication; and/or train the trainers
models. The sponsor will give priority to proposals that respond to the
following specific topics for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. While
proposals for other programs will be considered, reduced program budgets
will limit funding opportunities. RUSSIA, UKRAINE, BELARUS AND
MOLDOVA--Women's Leadership Program--the sponsor is interested in
single-country or regional programs focusing on women's leadership. The
Bureau encourages programs that are built around a specific theme or target
audience. Target audiences could include, but are not limited to: women in
business, NGO leaders, professional women, special interest groups (i.e.
ethnic minorities, women with disabilities, economically disadvantaged
women). Priority will be given to programs that will result in the creation
of a sustainable professional association or coalition with activities
continuing after the grant period. ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN, AND
GEORGIA--Women's Leadership Program--the sponsor is interested in training
programs for women leaders from the Caucasus region. The issues described
in the above section on Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova largely apply
to the Caucasus region. Programs should be designed to reflect these
concerns. The sponsor is particularly interested in training proposals that
have a regional focus: linking women together in the three countries of the
Caucasus region. KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN, AND UZBEKISTAN--Women's Leadership
Program--the sponsor is interested in training programs for women leaders
from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. The same general concerns as
above regarding the status and role of women apply to these three Central
Asian countries. RUSSIA, MOLDOVA, UKRAINE AND KAZAKHSTAN--Women's Political
Leadership Programs--Single-country programs with a focus on political
leadership for women. Applicants should plan a training program that
provides a political context for leadership training. Specifically, the
program should combine elements such as leadership fundamentals, the
introduction or improvement of skills associated with campaign management,
accountability to constituencies, lobbying, surveying, polling, advocacy,
voter outreach, networking, message development, working with the media and
fundraising. Proposals must indicate a practical and sophisticated
knowledge of the political and legislative environment in the target NIS
country. RUSSIA, MOLDOVA, UKRAINE, ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN AND
GEORGIA--Professional and Business Associations--The Bureau wishes to help
establish and sustain associations that are committed to community
advancement and professional growth in Russia, Moldova, Ukraine and the
Caucasus region. Proposals should include plans to adopt a model that is
sensitive to regional needs. The Bureau is interested in supporting
programs that will establish or enhance professional and business
associations (i.e. chambers of commerce; legal, environment, education or
trade associations; women's business associations; and associations whose
membership represents an organized minority group or that is devoted to
minority issues). Applicants may award individual small grants to support
work relevant to association-building. Funds for small grants should be no
more than 30% of the total requested from the Bureau. BELARUS, MOLDOVA,
UKRAINE, ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN AND GEORGIA--Content-Based Internet Training
for the West NIS Region and the Caucasus Region--The Bureau is seeking
programs that will use the Internet to provide content-based training to a
wide variety of audiences in the Caucasus region. The purpose of the
training is not to instruct in Internet technology and use, but to
encourage citizen participation in workshops, chats, and/or discussions via
the Internet that will stimulate communication and information sharing on
relevant topics. Topics may include but are not limited to: civic
education, community development; corruption, conflict resolution,
curriculum development; tolerance and peace education; refugee issues;
youth issues; human and legal rights; family health issues; volunteerism;
voter education and outreach. U.S. institutions must demonstrate their
ability to coordinate a complex program with U.S. Government-funded
Internet Access Training Program (IATP) Center, Internet centers sponsored
by organizations such as Soros Internet Centers, and other locations with
computer access operating simultaneously. Applicants must provide
innovative plans to advertise, recruit and conduct outreach to diverse
audiences in major cities and outlying regions in the Caucasus.
RUSSIA--Post-Election Training for Duma Staffers--with Duma national
elections scheduled for December 19, 1999, the Bureau is interested in
programs that will enhance Duma staffers' management skills. Applicants
must demonstrate expertise and knowledge of the Russian political landscape
and how the Duma functions. Programs may include a combination of
U.S.-based internships, in-country workshops, roundtables, panel
discussions, case studies and specially tailored projects. Training topics
may address accountability to and communication with constituencies;
working with the press; negotiation skills; conflict resolution; consensus
building; coalition building (particularly related to bloc or partisan
communications); ethics in government; working with diverse populations;
conducting issue-related casework; drafting legislation and implementing
policy. RUSSIA, BELARUS, MOLDOVA, UKRAINE AND UZBEKISTAN--Prevention of
Trafficking in Women and Girls--The Bureau is seeking to assist NIS
governments and NGOs in the region to address the problem by (1) educating
young women, girls and their families about trafficking so that they will
not fall victim to traffickers' tactics of coercion, fraud and deceit and
(2) providing victim assistance. Applicants are encouraged to submit
proposals that show a strong knowledge of existing educational and
assistance efforts and that demonstrate an ability to integrate existing
materials and human resources. Proposals must outline a concrete plan for
innovative programming and must reach populations in outlying regions. The
Bureau is particularly interested in proposals that will build on local
capacity to address trafficking. Applicants must have proven experience on
the ground with this issue. UKRAINE--Distance Learning in the Field of
Business Management--The Bureau is interested in proposals that establish
or expand distance learning programs in business and management at
Ukrainian universities or institutes throughout Ukraine. Specific programs
should include the delivery of management and business content through
low-end technologies such as e-mail, CD-Rom, video or Internet, so that the
model may be replicated in other regions. The target audience for the end
product should be students and/or businesspeople. A two-way exchange by the
U.S. and Ukrainian development teams is essential. The sponsor will
consider funding proposals in the $150,000 to $200,000 range from distance
learning programs. UKRAINE--Public Library Reform--The Bureau is seeking
proposals that will provide program support to public libraries in Ukraine
to modernize systems and reform library management. Applicants may propose
activities in any region of the country in a minimum of three oblasts.
Effective library management and training in technology-based information
management are encouraged. Training may also include building effective
library support networks (i.e. fund-raising, acquisitions such as books and
equipment, interlibrary cooperation); engaging the community (summer
reading programs, children's activities, bookmobiles, exhibitions,
presentations). The Bureau seeks sustainable U.S.-Ukraine library
partnering through this program. ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN AND GEORGIA--Joint
Programs--The Bureau is particularly interested in programs that include
all three Caucasus countries. In addition to the program themes previously
mentioned, the Bureau encourages submissions addressing the theme of NGO
Management for the countries of the Caucasus Region.
RESTRICTIONS: Eligible applicants are public or private non-profit
organizations.
MONETARY: Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals not to exceed
$130,000. Distance Learning Programs may be funded up to $200,000. Grants
awarded to eligible organizations with less than four years of experience
in conducting international exchange programs will be limited to $60,000.
Proposals should show cost-sharing, both contributions from the applicant
and from other sources. The following project costs are eligible for
consideration for funding: international and domestic air fares; visas;
transit costs; ground transportation costs; per diem; interpreters; book
and cultural allowance; consultants; room rental; materials development;
equipment; one working meal per project; a return travel allowance; health
insurance; and administrative costs. Overhead and administrative costs for
the proposal, including salaries, honoraria, and subcontracts for services,
should be kept low. Administrative costs should be kept below twenty-five
percent.

Subject: tourist visa in US
Hello, Friends and Partners!
I wonder if anybody has ever tried to extend a tourist (visitor's) visa in
the US. What is tricky about this? What kind of reasons would work?
The reason I am asking is that at the border my mom's I-94 got stamped
only for 1 months as opposed to standard 3 or 6 months of stay for
tourists. She would like to stay here for about 3 mo., and we had some
trips planned for coming holidays. Now it's all ruined unless I try to
extend her stay.
I would greatly appreciate any advice and ideas. Thank you very much,
Marina.
P.S. If for someone this message, or my name, looks somewhat
familiar you are right. About 6 months earlier I asked for help regarding
a visitor's visa. I was expecting a baby here in the US and wanted my mom
to come from Moscow and help me. Her visa application got rejected that
time. We were lost and did not know what to do next. I received a great
response and very helpful ideas. As you can see, it finally worked but not
without problems
Once again, I want to thank all and everyone for help and good advice!

Subject: Contemporary Issues Fellowships for NIS Citizens
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 14:16:07 -0400
From: irex@irex.org
To: irex-l@info.irex.org
IREX Announces Contemporary Issues Fellowships
IREX is pleased to announce an open competition for the Contemporary
Issues Fellowship Program. The application deadline for this program is
November 26, 1999.
Since 1996 the Contemporary Issues Fellowship Program has awarded
fellowships to professionals, specialists, consultants, practitioners, NGO
leaders, and policymakers from the NIS to conduct research and gain
knowledge and experience in United States institutions. This year based on
available funding, a total of 100 four-month fellowships will be awarded
to citizens from the New Independent States. The program is developed,
funded, and supervised by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
Department of State and administered by the International Research &
Exchanges Board (IREX).
The Contemporary Issues Fellowship Program provides opportunities to
qualified citizens of all twelve New Independent States to conduct
research, write studies, gain experience and develop contacts in the
United States with the goal of playing an active role in sustaining the
transition to democracy, open markets, and civil society in their home
country. All proposals must be issue and policy driven with practical
application and address recent developments and trends in the NIS. The
Contemporary Issues Fellowship proposals must focus on one of the
following five topics:
Research Categories for the Contemporary Issues Fellowships:
- Sustainable Growth and Economic Development of NIS Economies in
Transition
- Democratization, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law
- Political, Military, Security, and Public Policy Issues
- Strengthening Civil Society
- The Communications Revolution, and Access to Information
Examples of research topics for the Contemporary Issues Fellowship Program
would include, but are not limited to: Telecommunications Systems in the
NIS; the Impact of NATO Expansion; Nuclear Safety and Non-Proliferation;
Covering Election Year Politics in the Press; Combating Organized Crime and
Corruption; NGO Management and Development; Creating a Social Safety Net;
Politics of Pipelines in Central Asia and the Caucasus; Resolving Regional
Conflict; Trade, Investment, and Tax Policy; Reforming the Military; Human
Resources Management in International Businesses; Freedom of the Press in
Electronic Publishing; Distance Education; the Legal Rights of Women,
Children, Workers, and the Disabled; Health Care Administration and Policy
in the Wake of the Chernobyl Disaster; Environmental Policy; New
Technologies in Library Information Management; Reforming Educational
Policy; and Media Management.
All applicants must demonstrate a critical need to conduct their research
in the United States, cite resources that are not available in their home
country but are necessary to advance their research, address how their
research will make a significant contribution to their fields in their home
countries, how they will apply their research and disseminate the
knowledge, skills, and insights gained during their US fellowship upon
return to the NIS, and must have had no or few opportunities to conduct
research in the United States. All Contemporary Issues fellows are
affiliated with US host institutions (i.e. universities, research
institutes, NGOs, and government agencies) that have resource materials and
specialists in the fellows' field and are placed with a host advisor who
guides their research projects and professional development. Collaborative

Pre-Dissertation Fellowship in Anthropology
Doctoral candidates in anthropology at U.S. and Canadian universities are
eligible to apply. The fellowship supports short-term (two to three months)
independent research in Europe for the purpose of testing the feasibility
and research design of a projected doctoral dissertation in the
social/cultural anthropology of contemporary Europe. The typical grantee is
a second or third-year graduate student who has, or is close to, completing

Subject: CFP: CANADIANA ASSOC OF SLAVISTS, MAY 00, EDMONTON
Date:
Tue, 19 Oct 1999 13:30:46 -0600 (MDT)
From:
Natalia Pylypiuk natalia.pylypiuk@ualberta.ca
Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS):
27-29 May 2000, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB
Dear Colleagues and Students,
In the year 2000 the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities
will be held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. The annual
meeting of the Canadian Association of Slavists has been scheduled
for the 27, 28 and 29 of May. As Programme Chair I invite all
Slavists to join us in Edmonton!
To facilitate the organization of panels, I have posted on the site
of *Canadian Slavonic Papers* (http://www.ualberta.ca/~csp) two
electronic proposal forms, one for Individual Papers and one for
Panels.
I encourage you to submit whenever possible complete panel proposals.
A hard copy of the proposal forms will appear in the CAS Fall
Newsletter. However, electronic submissions are preferable.
This year's programme will include brief synopses of all papers and a
fifty-word resume is required. Kindly note that the deadline for
submission of proposals is February 15. This will ensure the timely
preparation of a preliminary programme along with the reservation of
rooms and appropriate equipment. Many associations will be meeting on
May 27, 28 and 29. Thus competition for space and equipment will be
keen.
To defray administrative costs of processing late submissions, a fee
of ten dollars--payable directly to the Canadian Association of
Slavists--will be charged for proposals that arrive after February
15. No proposals will be accepted after March 31.
The *Congress Registration Guide* will be mailed to all members of
the CAS in the beginning of January 2000. I urge you to check
whether your name appears listed on the site of *Canadian Slavonic
Papers,* and to inform Dr. Gust Olson (gust.olson@ualberta.ca) by
October 25 concerning any address changes. Slavists who are not
members of CAS are very welcome to join the association. Only CAS
members can qualify for travel grant assistance.
All participants in the CAS meeting, be they presenters or members of
the audience, must register. (For purposes of registration at the
Congress, the Canadian Association of Slavists is no. 56.) The number
of registered participants determines the amount of support that the
Canadian Federation of the Social Sciences and Humanities lends to
CAS. The *Congress Registration Guide* will inform you about
registration procedures (by mail, fax, WWW or in person), hotel and
dormitory accommodations, and method of payment. The deadline for
early registration is March 31.
SPECIAL COLLOQUIA
Three international and interdisciplinary colloquia will be staged
over the eight-day duration of the Congress (May 24-31, 2000).
The topics of the colloquia are: (1) Globalization, Societies,
Culture. Contact: Dr. Vanaja Dhruvarajan, President, Canadian
Sociology and Anthropology Association
(dhruvarajan-v@s-h.uwinnipeg,ca)
(2) The North (including the Circumpolar North). Contact: Dr. John
Tucker, President, Association for the Advancement of Scandinavian
Studies in Canada (jtucker@uvic.ca)
(3) Law, Culture and Society. Contact: Dr. Tim Burton
(tim.burton@ualberta.ca).
Associations like CAS may join other member associations to sponsor
events in conjunction with the colloquia. These events must (a) have
clear pertinence across several disciplines in the humanities and
social sciences; (b) involve leading researchers in the relevant
areas; (c) have representation from scholars outside Canada; (d) have
some representation from sectors outside academe. For more
information, please contact individuals named above.

special funds to associations holding joint sessions. For this
reason, I draw your attention to associations whose meeting dates

New Map Colors Russian Regions 'Unfavorable' to a Free Press
A three-month investigation by media and human rights organizations reveals
that not one of Russia's 89 regions promotes a climate favorable to a free
and pluralistic press. The Public Expertise project, led by the Russian
Union of Journalists, will unveil the results of its research during the
"Press 2000" event at Moscow's All-Russia Exhibit Center on October 27 at
13:00. Showcased during the presentation will be a regional map
highlighting the differences between Russia's "89 distinct political
regimes."
The Public Expertise project formed regional commissions consisting of
journalists, media managers, lawyers, professors, activists, and others
which reported on:
* local laws and regulations affecting media and their compliance with the
Russian Constitution;
* local officials' responses to journalists' requests for public
information;
* the regulation and practice of journalistic accreditation;
* comparisons of local conditions affecting newspaper printing and
distribution and television and radio broadcasting.
Thousands of pages of data on these factors were collected and analyzed.
The results were ranked in three separate classes: freedom of access to
information, freedom to produce information, and freedom to distribute
information.
Organizers had planned to grade the results across three rankings -
favorable, mixed, and unfavorable - each represented by a different color.
But the findings precluded any favorable rating. The October 27
presentation will include a two-color map of Russia illustrating mixed and
unfavorable conditions. Out of 100 possible points, rankings ranged from a
low of 10 in Bashkortostan to a high of 63 in Moscow.
Several Russian politicians are expected to attend the event. The
organizers hope that the results will be used both nationally and locally to
pursue the issue of press freedom in upcoming Duma elections. The research,
including profiles of each region, will be published in a book that will be
distributed to elected officials across the country, as well as to the
press. The maps will be available after October 27 at
http://www.freepress.ru. The Union of Journalists is already at work on a
new project using similar methodology to create an Index of Corruption.
Public Expertise is a project of the Russian Union of Journalists in
collaboration with Internews Russia, the Glasnost Defense Foundation, the
Moscow Media Law and Policy Center, and the Standing Commission on Free
Access to Information. It was funded by a grant from Internews Russia.
For more information, contact Marianne Ruane (mruane@internews.ru) or

Dear friends-colleagues:
If you know someone who would like to get a Ph.D. in Kinesiology from Penn
State University, please ask him or her to contact me (Mark Latash).
Teaching assistantships are available starting January 2000. They pay
enough money to live comfortably (without luxury) in State College,
Pennsylvania. Besides, tuition is free.
Penn State University is in the middle of nowhere. More precisely, in the
middle of Pennsylvania, in the Happy Valley of the Appalachian Mountains,
nearly equidistant from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore,
and New York. It is quiet and beautiful here.
The Department of Kinesiology (Movement Science) is very large (1,000
undergrads, close to 100 grad. students plus over 40 full-time faculty) and
highly respected (personally, I think it is the strongest on this planet -
don't quote!).
The applicants will work under my supervision. I graduated from FOPF in
1976 (Physics of Living Systems), later got a Ph.D. in Physiology from Rush
University in Chicago, and now work as a Professor and Director of Graduate
Studies. Topics of research in my Lab are closely related to physics,
control theory, dynamical systems, physiology, and pathology. I would
prefer to have another Fiztex or Fizteshka, but other candidates will be
considered if they know physics and computers.
A formal application process should be followed. In includes fresh TOEFL
and GRE scores, transcripts, letter of interest, and recommendation
letters.
If you are potentially interested, contact me by e-mail (MLL11@PSU.EDU) as
soon as possible, and I will forward you a standard application package.
Thank you very much.
S Fiztexovskim privetom,
Mark Latash
